What’s covered in these terms

We know it’s tempting to skip these Terms of Service, but it’s important to establish what you can expect from us as you use The National Fact services, and what we expect from you.

These Terms of Service reflect the way that The National Fact’s business works, the laws that apply to our company, and certain things that we’ve always believed to be true. As a result, these Terms of Service help define The National Fact’s relationship with you as you interact with our services. For example, these terms include the following topic headings:

• What you can expect from us, which describes how we provide and develop our services
• What we expect from you, which establishes certain rules for using our services
• Content in The National Fact services, which describes the intellectual property rights to the content that you find in our services – whether that content belongs to you, The National Fact or others
• In case of problems or disagreements, which describes other legal rights that you have, and what to expect in case someone violates these terms.

Understanding these terms is important because, by using our services, you’re agreeing to these terms.

Besides these terms, we also publish a Privacy Policy. Although it’s not part of these terms, we encourage you to read it to better understand how you can update, manage, export and delete your information.

We also make various policies, Help Centers and other resources available to you to answer common questions and to set expectations about using our services. These resources include our Privacy Policy, Copyright Help Centre, Safety Centre and other pages accessible from our policies site.

License

Your content remains yours, which means that you retain any intellectual property rights that you have in your content. For example, you have intellectual property rights in the creative content that you make, such as reviews that you write. Or you may have the right to share someone else’s creative content if they’ve given you their permission.

We need your permission if your intellectual property rights restrict our use of your content. You provide The National Fact with that permission through this license.

What's Covered

This license covers your content if that content is protected by intellectual property rights.

What’s not covered

• This license doesn’t affect your privacy rights – it’s only about your intellectual property rights
• This license doesn’t cover these types of content:
  • publicly available, factual information that you provide, such as corrections to the address of a local business. That information doesn’t require a license because it’s considered common knowledge that everyone’s free to use.
  • feedback that you offer, such as suggestions to improve our services. Feedback is covered in the Service-related communications section below.

Using The National Fact services

Your The National Fact Account

If you meet these age requirements you can create a The National Fact Account for your convenience. Some services require that you have a The National Fact Account in order to work – for example, to use Gmail, you need a The National Fact Account so that you have a place to send and receive your email.

You’re responsible for what you do with your The National Fact Account, including taking reasonable steps to keep your The National Fact Account secure, and we encourage you to regularly use the Security Check-Up.

Many  organizations , such as businesses, non-profits and schools, take advantage of our services. To use our services on behalf of an organization:
